The Goldfish Sanctuary
dedicated to the humane treatment of fish everywhere
The goldfish is the most common household pet in the world. It is a
hardy, interesting, exciting and lovable pet which can live for many
years and provide its owner with hours of enjoyment and affection.
Unfortunately, because of its commonality, adaptability, and small price,
the goldfish is often mistreated, abused, underfed, or made to live in
otherwise intolerable conditions.
How many people leap at the chance to own one of these remarkable creatures,
later to decide that they have not even the time to feed it?
The Goldfish Sanctuary is opposed to this kind of mistreatment. A
goldfish is inexpensive, yes, but its life is not a worthless one. It is
the goal of this Sanctuary to provide a safe, ideal home for goldfish
whose owners either mistreat them or no longer want them.
Presently, this is a small organization. Because of this fact, funds
are limited. We depend upon and gladly accept any donations offered -
either money or supplies. If you are an individual who could offer such
a donation, or a fish-shop who could either offer a donation or discount,
please contact:
Goldfish Sanctuary HQ
The Goldfish Sanctuary is HQed in Rochester, NY and has chapters in Cedar
Rapids, New York City, and a new facility in Pasadena. We welcome all
goldfish who can no longer be cared for by their owners. If your fish
spawned and you don't have space for the babies, we want to help. We also
do what we can to oppose the sale of fish by inhumane dealers and
petstores. We also welcome letters from sympathizers and potential
members everywhere.
